I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at RetailNext (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Sep 2017
Interview
Phone interview: HR calls and talks about personal and working background; talks about previous working experiences how to do a project; HR asked 4 major open questions which are also known as behavioural questions.

Question 1
what would you if you get little information to finish a project?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at RetailNext in Apr 2025
Interview
Literally the worst hiring process I've been through!
Bad hiring process and hiring managers. They don't reply to emails, they make you wait forever, and they don't know what they want or talking about.
I passed 2 rounds of interviews and got the home assessement, I spent 2 days working on it and it is solid (given I have experience in IoT with 16 years of experience in the field), I sent it to them, I wait for a month to get the denial automated email response.
I didn't even know if they reviewed it and did not get a chance to present the work or understand their feedback as to why it is not suitable.
I had the same experience 2 years ago when I applied for the same position with the same take-away assessement.

Question 1
Each person I interviewed asked different questions about the role and experience. I haven't noticed a real structure.
I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at RetailNext (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Feb 2019
Interview
Quite boring and poor organized interview process.
First had a phone conversation with an recruiter, very boring, she rarely asked me questions . When I asked for update, another recruiter replied me, "I am checking with the team on this. Will get back to you shortly." Then never contacted me. Several weeks later, I asked him again, I got the same reply "I am checking with the team on this. Will get back to you shortly."
Great! An automatic reply. Why there're so many irresponsible recruiters all over the world.
I wish I never applied for that position.
